Movement in the kitchen area

A generally productive week, although not a lot to show for it inside Little O'Grady Street.

Monday

• Plasterers return and finish off the cornice in the hall in no 8. It looks spiffing.
• Roofer does more flashing on 1A Little O'Grady.

Tuesday

• Nothing happens.

Wednesday

• Tony the builder comes for a check on progress. We discuss options for relocating the water meter.
• Tony waterproofs the shower area in the bathroom.
• Nick from West City cabinets comes and we get moving on finalising the design of cabinetry in bathroom, kitchen and laundry.
• Shane arrives to start on the floor in the big back room.
• We drive down to West City cabinets showroom in Hoppers Crossing to look at options for colour of door fronts and benchtops.

Thursday

• Decisions are made about colours.
• Omissions in the kitchen design discovered.
• Preparation work on the floor continues.
• Much to our annoyance, the panelling for the bathroom is not yet at Bunnings and they are now saying 7-10 days, when we were promised it was available in 3 days. It's already a week since we chose and ordered it.

Friday

• Shane covers the concrete floor in green goop.
• A skip is delivered and Tony's son Fraser clears out the backyard (again). We dispose of a couple of unwanted doors while there is spare space in the skip.
• Email exchanges with West City cabinets continue, modifying the design and quote.

Weekend

• Final (?) email sent to West City cabinets.
• We rehang the hall lights in no 8.
• Another mini-buying spree: a fan with built in light for the second bedroom (Beacon are conveniently having a fan sale), exterior lights for front and back, and a light for the storage area over the bathroom.
